From the reviews

A great venue for a special event This seemed a little challenging to get to as it is on the north end of Lake Thonotosassa and is only accessible on 2-lane country roads but it is well worth the drive. The turn into this venue is truly in the middle of a lemon tree orchard so watch for it carefully.

★★★★☆ — Ward, Jan 2022

This wedding venue sits on a 900+ acre lake and has absolutely gorgeous views. The real difference maker is the owners. DJ and Don bend over backwards to make sure their clients have everything they need and at the most affordable price. DJ and Don make it possible to have a luxurious event without going broke!

★★★★★ — Larry, Feb 2024

This is a true find. The grounds are stunning. Manicured, very large lemon orchid. The husband and wife team are dynamic. When it’s go time, they will do whatever is in their power to help and get things the way you want your wedding. They refer very reliable vendors. Mikes cuisine was delightful.

★★★★★ — Pamela, Oct 2021

I have attended a few weddings at this Venue and I have to say it is a beautiful place, inside and out! I've seen the barn decorated both rustic and shabby chic and both styles work well here. The barn is the perfect size for most weddings. Its air conditioned and has unique rustic decor.

Getting married at The Lemon orchard venue on the lake

The Lemon orchard venue on the lake comes up for weddings — confirmed on their own site. Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see it at the time of day you'd actually get married — a barn that glows at golden hour can feel very different at noon, and you'll want to walk the path your guests take from parking to ceremony to reception. Second, bring your real questions: the rain plan (where does the ceremony move?), the catering and bar policy, the music curfew, and exactly what's included with the rental — tables, chairs, setup, and teardown are where quotes quietly diverge. Popular dates at barn venues book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
